The central goal of Honors education at Texas A&M University at Galveston is academic enrichment; our Honors Program is based on the belief that promising students benefit from:

close contact with accomplished faculty,

collaborative learning with other motivated students,

small, discussion-based seminars or one-on- one instruction,

knowledge production through individual research experiences,

and participation with internships, foreign study, and campus or community service.

The Honors Program is an ideal opportunity for motivated, curious students who are filled with big ideas, who long for outlets for creative expression, and who seek out intellectual challenges. Our goal is to make available the resources of a major research institution to undergraduate students whose track record of academic success demonstrates a readiness to take greater personal responsibility for their own education.

The defining characteristics of Honors study at Texas A&amp;M University is engagement of interdisciplinary topics in small classes with professors dedicated to teaching and engaged in research.
